Fremont, NE Thursday, July 8, 2021 Nina was our next door "townhouse neighbor" in Fremont before she moved to Shalimar. Frank mowed her lawn, also. What a wonderful, sweet lady. Always a smile on her face. She will be missed...we would see her at Shalimar occasionally because she sat at the same dining table as my aunt Alice Miller.Sympathy and blessings to her family.

Aurora, CO Wednesday, July 7, 2021 Auntie Nina was the last of my aunts and uncles on either side of my family, my Dad’s youngest sibling. She lived life on her own terms with a great (sometimes “earthy” :-) sense of humor.Our love to her family and friends in the Lyons/Fremont area. Regret that we won’t be able to attend the service this weekend.
